The BIG One!

Surprise your loved one with a bike sure to put a smile on their face.

The Specialized Turbo E bikes are so fun, they make you like a kid again! We love our Turbo bikes here at the shop (I ride one almost daily around town). Specialized Turbo’s are smoother, go farther, have better support, and look better than the others. It really is you, just faster. The 3.0 sits a model up from the entry level Como 2.0 ($2,850) and has all the features we like. 29mph speed, great battery capacity, and integrated head and taillights; and just like any of our new bikes here, backed by the full support and service of our shop.

Stay Warm - Colder temps shouldn’t mean the end of the riding season.

This is a super lightweight, (49 grams!) packable into a jersey pocket wind/light water jacket. Very breathable and an awesome layer to have in your pocket many days of the year.

Therminal Alpha Jacket $200

Made to ‘walk to dry’ in 30 minutes, this Polartec developed fabric is very light, very insulating, and very breathable. With a built in hood that is meant to fit under your helmet, and looks that are good on and off the bike.

Defroster Cycling Boots $200

Super reflective, and insulated throughout. A very walkable and grippy sole made with Gripton rubber so that you don’t slip when you’re off the bike. These have been a shop favorite in the winter months.

Shoe Covers $30-$70

Looking for something to keep wind and water at bay but not ready for the Defroster boots? Show covers are a great addition to your winter layers and work well even for days that may just have a bit of chill to them.

Neck Buff $25

Winter Gloves $40-$85

From lightweight to really cold, I’ve enjoyed our gloves over the years more than any other. The Element line all uses Gore Windstopper fabric which is super breathable and windproof (windproof like I previously didn’t understand). With different levels of Thinsulate in them depending on how deep of a freeze you’re riding in.

Knee warmers/Arm warmers $55

Easy to get on and off and easy to keep in a jersey pocket, the latest version of these warmers fit better than ever.

Therminal Hat & Ear Warmers $16-35

Necessary when it gets below certain temps and available with Gore Windstopper, the headwear we stock is warmer than ever.

These bags are AWESOME. I have used one for months now and it’s made all my trips far easier. Very well conceived and executed bike accessory luggage from our friends up in Canada. Available in a bunch of colors. Cyclists are difficult to shop for. This is that gift they didn’t know existed and will absolutely use and love. -Chris
